Lyrics:Now if you're feelin' kinda low 'bout the dues you've been paying Future's coming much too slow And you wanna run but somehow you just keep on stayin' Can't decide on which way to go Yeah, yeah, yeah

I understand about indecision But I don't care if I get behind People livin' in competition All I want is to have my peace of mind. (yea

Now you're climbin' to the top of the company ladder Hope it doesn't take too long Can't ya see there'll come a day when it won't matter Come a day when you'll be gone

I understand about indecision But I don't care if I get behind People livin' in competition All I want is to have my peace of mind.

Take a look ahead, take a look ahead, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah... whoa!

Now everybody's got advice they just keep on givin' Doesn't mean too much to me Lot's of people out to make-believe they're livin' Can't decide who they should be.

I understand about indecision But I don't care if I get behind People livin' in competition All I want is to have my peace of mind.
